Bluetooth Travel Mouse intermittently stops working; has to be reinstalled

by johnself . Updated 13 years, 11 months ago

My OS is Vista 32-bit and the Bluetooth hardware is a Dell Travel Mouse.

I can go for months without any trouble, but for reasons I can’t figure out it will just spontaneously stop working – and then it seems to happen all the time for a few days.

It doesn’t seem to correspond with any new software or hardware installations … or any Windows updates.

When it quits working and I check my Bluetooth devices in the control panel sometimes it is still there, but other times it’s disappeared.

If it’s still there, I have to remove it and then reinstall and, if it’s gone, I just reinstall it. And voila – it’s works again.

Is this just something wonky with Bluetooth (or Vista) I have to live with – or is there a solution? (It’s really a nice little gadget when it’s working).

Thanks
